Other pink events

From 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, the 4th annual fashion show to raise awareness about early detection of breast cancer will be at the Victoria Mall.

The show models are all breast cancer survivors.

The event is sponsored by Carter Healthcare and Crown Hospice.

In addition to the happenings in Victoria, Lavaca County "went pink" this week in an event sponsored by Advanced Home Health Services.

Businesses in Hallettsville, Yoakum, Shiner and Moulton decorated in pink to help raise awareness of breast cancer awareness, said Christy Bohuslav, of Advanced Home Health Services.

"You would be amazed at some of the displays," she said. "They brought tears to our eyes, especially the ones at the schools."

Businesses were honored for their displays with Stevens Home Health Center in Yoakum, Kaspar Wire Works in Shiner and Shady Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Moulton taking first place honors. The winner from Hallettsville was not available at press time.
